Pretty much the same with my DH. He has always been an animal lover....we've had all kinds (fish, birds, hamsters, cats, dogs, etc., etc.) during our 27+ years together. I found a Yorkiepoo and just mentioned that I would like to go see her. Well, that is all it took....like buying a new car....he was ready for a roadtrip and test drive, hehe....would not shut up until I called the lady and made an appointment. So off to TN we went. Well, the Yorkiepoo was cute, but it just didn't click. To my surprise, my DH said "What about that little yorkie? So, long story short....we came home with Rily. Cost a lot more...I might add!
but, worth every penny!! He later told our neighbors that I had always (its true) wanted a yorkie, and he wanted Rily the instant he saw him.
Rily is a Momma's Boy, but DH is working hard to win him over. Our schnauzer thinks (and always has) that DH hung the moon, so it is just a matter of time until he steals Rily too.
They are home together all day and I am back in school now.
